What we do

We solve problems with smart ideas designed for real impact

Our studio is quick, agile and backed by decades of experience working for big, global clients. Now, we’re taking the skills and knowledge we’ve built up over the years and applying them for clients in renewable energy, sport, transport, food, jewellery, education, tech and more.

What we offer is proven expertise in communicating your message in the right way to consumers and businesses. If you need creative support to launch or develop a sustainable brand, (S) K + D is at your service.

How we do it

Our approach to branding

Over the years, one thing we’ve learned is that one-size-fits-all, cookie cutter solutions usually lead to disappointment. We will customise our approach to meet the specific requirements of your organisation and the challenges you face to find a truly exceptional, stand-out expression of your brand at every touchpoint. This is how we get there…

Brand Strategy

Based on our experience working with brands across sectors, we’ll lead you through an extensive discovery phase to understand your story and identify how sustainability can be embedded into your brand. These learnings will help us articulate an overarching brand strategy to inform the creative and copywriting work that follows.

Brand Realisation

We will apply this learned insight by combining strategy with creative brilliance to develop a unique visual and verbal expression for your brand that provokes, challenges and demands attention.

Brand Communication

Harnessing this fresh identity, we will create engaging visual content and brand collateral that will inform and inspire eco-conscious audiences and customers, engaging them with your message.

Brand Experience

Working with a carefully selected network of creatives and technologists, we’ll bring your brand and your campaigns to life, delivering beautifully designed experiences that push beyond the expected.

**From digital to print to product** — We immerse ourselves in the subject matter

**Pencil to paper** — It all starts with human creativity

**Discovery workshops** — We’ll work with you to get to the core of the problem, then solve it

**Connected to nature** — It’s wonderfully inspiring to have nature on our doorstep

**Rules to live by** — Creative style guides to ensure brands stay unique and consistent

“Quality branding is an extremely important part of the green industrial revolution. Do it right, and you can show your customers that being green doesn’t mean they have to give something up.”
